This is a diary entry for humans :)
1. imported the gns names and features for kosovo.
2. expanded the borders of kosovo to include all these features. Checked the border points like mountains, cities and rivers against other reference material. The existing administration borders in osm were too small. Or the points are wrong.
3. Started to merge duplicate nodes. Marked the following gns features for example :
Churches:
Often named "Manastir" like monastary.
eg: osm.org/browse/node/448739003
GSN pattern :
gnfeature = S && gnfeaturec = CH
Implies OSM Feature : ->
amenity = place_of_worship
Springs, Streams and rivers :
these are points. I have marked many wrongly streams as springs. This is better than nothing.
Naming pattern :
Reka means stream in serbian, Lhume in albanian.
gnfeature = H && gnfeaturec = STM
implies : OSM pattern ->
natural = spring
Peaks, Ridges, Mountains :
Mountains:
A mountain is not a peak, but a range.
Kosovo is full of mountains. I have also listed them as peaks, or have removed the hamlet status.
osm.org/browse/node/448561842
gnfeature = T && gnfeaturec = MT
implies : OSM pattern ->
natural = peak
Ridge:
osm.org/browse/node/448709148
GNS Pattern : gnfeature = T && gnfeaturec = RDGE
implies : OSM pattern ->
natural = peak
Now peak is wrong, but better than nothing.
Localities :
osm.org/browse/node/448739000
gnfeature = L && gnfeaturec = LCTY
implies : OSM pattern ->
place = locality
Ideally, I will write some scripts to clean this up.
